I'm Baack!

For those of you wondering, no I have not fallen off the face of the earth! We have had such a busy two weeks!
We had a great Easter. The Easter Bunny came on Saturday morning since Phillip always has to leave so early for the first service on Easter Sunday. She got a sleeping bag and two new coloring books with crayons. She had a blast hunting Easter eggs! When she found the first one and discovered there was a surprise in it she had to sit down and eat her Skittles before she would look for any more. Notice she is carrying her baby "Saras" (Sara) as she looks for eggs!


Ashlyn received money in her Easter card from Grandma and Grandpa so we went to Target to pick out something special. She got a view finder, which is 3D, much cooler than the one I had twenty something years ago. She also got bubbles. She loves to blow bubbles herself so we got "toddler bubbles" which are spill proof and easy to get the wand in and out of.


Later that week Phillip flew to China for 10 days with work. While he was gone Ashlyn and I went to the Dallas area to visit my sister-in-law and her family. Ashlyn loved playing with her cousin Madelyn. They wore each other out every day playing baby dolls, kitchen, dancing, and going to the zoo. They were the true definition of silly giggly little girls, it was the cutest thing!

On Monday Ashlyn went with Madelyn to Mothers Day Out so Heather and I could go shopping and have a girls day out. We went to Sam Moon and both got some really cute jewelry. After an hour and a half at Sam Moon, yes I said an hour and a half, we went to Ikea. We didn't have as much time as we would have liked to shop in Ikea, but we definitely didn't come out of there empty handed.
Ashlyn and Madelyn had the best time modeling our new jewelry when we got home!


We had been searching for a Nissan Quest in our area and were not able to find exactly what we wanted. A couple weeks ago we found exactly what we were looking for in the Dallas area for an excellent deal. Heather and Jonathan were so sweet to go and look at it for us. They are probably the only people we would trust to get a vehicle for us sight unseen! Heather is a very detailed person and Jonathan is a mechanic, what a perfect combination! We bought the van and they kept it in their garage until I was able to come and pick it up. We love the van! We were able to get all the extras with it that were not a necessity but a luxury. We knew God had the perfect vehicle picked out for us if we would just be patient and wait on Him. Now that we are back in town we are going to list our Jeep and hopefully get it sold soon.
